Has anyone tried to connect a Variax guitar to Max 6. I'm trying to figure out what type of message the guitar sends through the ethernet port since good ol' ctlin and notein objects do not work.

I am unfamiliar with your guitar but recently had to connect something else through the Ethernet port. You should probably start with making a local network so that your guitar gets an IP address (I did that on a MAC and then you can make a local network under your WIFI icon). You have to know on which port Varlax is sending and you can look with the UDPreceive object what kind of messages come through the ethernet (en0 on MAC). If you don't know the port you can look what UDP packages are sent to the ethernet with a program like CocoaPacketAnalyzer. Under information you will probably find the port that is receiving information. Hope this gets you on track.
